[Yafc-user] solved

[jalo m. <jal...@ja...>]

Hello

I have compiled YAFC console ftp client on my mepis linux box.
I like it be course it much faster then GUI ftp clients and it has a lot 
of great features.
YAFC is working great but remote tab completion is not working alltough 
it should
be one of its features. In it's configuration file "yafcrc" i have 
uncommented following option:

# use tab to complete remote files
remote_completion on

I'm not sure how remote tab completion works but i guess it downloads 
directory listing from remote host and
saves it on some configuration file. Or is it using remote host bash tab 
completion ?
First i thought that they are using sh shell or have disabled bash shell 
for ftpusers ? I think this is not the case be course
i have bash enabled on my own ftp server and tab completion is not 
working here also.
Some dudes use very long directory and file names, it might contain many 
sentences with whitespaces,
and you can imagine how frustrating is to escape manually these 
whitespaces.
I have browsed forums but have not found similar topic to this.

Thanks


Solved


I had to install libreadline headers from sourcecodepackage.
 They where not installed by default, libreadline package was installed 
but not headers. I could not find them from apt-get.org so i downloaded
 tar.gz archive. I did make uninstall (yafc) und recompiled it and it 
works yeahhhh.
